As a non American, even I can see this is just a scam to further invade privacy and the data used to get increase health insurance costs

What about sporting insertables instead?

Fuck you RFK my Casio can't and won't connect to the internet, go swim in more sewage you dolt

Man, I feel sick, lemme check my health watch.

status: unhealthy

Can I receive healthcare?

no

Guess we’ll cut food stamps but tell people who can afford to to get a watch

eat shit and go to hell.

So the vaccine is the government implanting a tracker into me, but watches that track my vitals and send them God knows where is hunky dory?

These anti government types always have such a hard time when they become the government.

And I want RFK, along with the rest of these anti-human ghouls to be dropped into an active volcano, but we don't always get what we want, do we?

Anti-science brain worm dumbfuck says what?

I love how these extremist Christian Republicans always go on about the mark of the beast and how everyone will be forced to wear it but that the righteous man won't wear it....

All of them will do this, mark my words. These fuckers are worshipping Satan as far as they know and they're fine with it.

casio calculator watch or bust

I chose to stop wearing a watch more than 20 years ago. I thought about getting one for the health benefits five years ago, but concluded that I don't want to have a watch nor cover an awesome tattoo. As a friend once wrote, "wearing a watch is like being handcuffed to time."

They lobotomized the wrong Kennedy.

You know what else would help? Annual (or more) blood tests during routine wellness checks with your doctor.

Do you know why most people don't get those?

~~Insurance won't cover them.~~ Many insurance providers won't cover them.

Maybe start there? Although I'm guessing he has no buddies who would make money from routine blood tests.

A key adviser to Kennedy, Calley Means, could directly benefit from one of the campaign’s stated aims: popularizing “technology like wearables as cool, modern tools for measuring diet impact and taking control of your own health”.

Calley Means is a senior Kennedy adviser, and was hired as a special government employee to focus on food policy, according to Bloomberg. He founded a company that helps Americans get such wearable devices reimbursed tax-free through health savings accounts.

Casey Means is Calley’s sister. She also runs a healthcare start-up, although hers sells wearable devices such as continuous glucose monitors. She is Kennedy’s nominee for US surgeon general, and a healthcare entrepreneur whose business sells continuous glucose monitors – one such wearable device. Calley Means’s company also works with Casey’s company.

Due to Calley Means’s status as a special employee, he has not been forced to divest from his private business interests – a situation that has already resulted in an ethics complaint. Consumer advocates, such as the non-profit group Public Citizen, had warned such hiring practices could cause conflicts of interest. HHS did not respond to a request for comment about Calley Means’s private business interests, or his role in crafting the publicity campaign.

Sure Bobby. I went and got myself an open-source "smart" watch that pairs with another FOSS app that doesn't send anything outside of the device.

What? Not like that? Oh, too bad.

American evangelicals when the government suggests getting a vaccine for a deadly virus- "IT'S THE MARK OF THE BEAST DON'T GET IT OR YOU'LL GO TO HELL"

American evangelicals when people they voted for say you need to wear something on your wrist to participate in society - "This is fine"

A wearable computer is much more similar in form to what is described in the Book of Revelation than a vaccine is, but these dumbasses don't see that because they're not operating on logic but instead are just doing what they're told.

Something something government tracking with microchips

"Wearables" but they forget to mention it's about government mandated trackers in a closed ecosystem.
They will track which bad (health or otherwise) groups of people one has come in contact with and make deductions based on that.

Ofcourse it's also extra business for the ice teams. And the deluxe wearable also tracks payments.

The European Covid tracking app back then already was very scary in its early setup ... and this mandated wearable idea will be far worse.

Screw that. Give the government a way to track my vitals 24/7 and sell that information off to their cronies in the private sector? No thanks.

Don't wearables cause autism?

My watch runs for years from a coin cell. There's no way that I'm replacing it with an internet connected spy device that constantly needs to be charged.
